What changed
NBI announced the eClearance service in the eGovPH app on 6 July 2026, providing an additional way to retrieve, renew and access a digital clearance.
Who should use it
Eligible verified eGovPH users seeking renewal. This is an additional route, not proof that a first-time branch application can skip biometrics.
What to do
Check eligibility and fees in the official app, complete its renewal flow and confirm the format is accepted by the organization requesting your clearance.
How long it takes
The announcement says eligible renewal can take as little as five minutes. This is not a guaranteed deadline for identity review, payment issues or an ineligible application.
